11 : Philadelphia 76ers select Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh
Adams has been impressive in his workouts, but he is still extremely raw. He will need to get used to the speed of the NBA and might spend his time in the D-League most of this season.
Philadelphia needs a big man since it looks like Andrew Bynum could be somewhere else next season, as if he was really there this season. If Adams could develop, he could help the 76ers.
The hype on Adams is growing and could be hard to ignore, but don’t expect much from him this season.
